North: relies on production and

skilled workers

South: relies on agriculture like

tobacco, sugar cane, and
cotton.

Tariffs were very much

supported in this region. This is
due in part to the regions
reliance on manufacturing and
industry which supported the
protections. The tariffs would
make the price of foreign goods
more expensive then theirs.

South: Opposed tariffs mainly

because they drove up the
price of goods that they
needed to buy.

The northern states were more

supportive of the National
Bank. The northern
manufacturing utilized credit
and supported investments
into rails, canals to move their
products.

A National Bank was not

supported by southerners. The
National Bank would impose
rules and regulations upon
State Banks already in
existence. The south advocated
strong state rights and
opposed any institution that
was centralized. The National
Bank would only make the
north stronger and more
economical successful. It
would do little to help the
south.
